I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
For the last month or so, every time I log off my account, the keyboard does not register at the Windows Log In screen. This makes it so I have to restart the computer and then it works fine.
There are three accounts on the computer, the casing has been half removed for the last 3 months, a DVD burner and driver recently installed 3 months ago and I am using a wireless off brand USB keyboard and mouse.
OS: Windows Xp Home Edition 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3
As for the second part, the computer requires several restarts to boot up, sometimes up to twenty minutes of turning on and off to boot up. Only started doing this a week ago.
It sounds like something is wrong with your Windows XP drivers. Something like that happened to me while building my computer, and when I boot up the keyboard did not work because my copy of windows XP was bad. You could try reinstalling windows XP, and It might work better, but I dont have a definite answer to your problem.Read other 3 answers
Hi,I am interested in purchasing a Lenovo Legion Y540 gaming laptop (the 15-inch version). After configuring it I noticed that the keyboard is in German. Is there a way to change that? I currently live in Germany, so I guess that's why I am offered the german version, but I am much more comfortable with an English keyboard. Thank you for your help!Read other answers

The n key had been not working properly and now it stopped all together. I took the key off and tried pressing the white piece of soft plastic but nothing shows up. Is it time to get a new keyboard or is there something else to try? It seems like such a waist to throw out a keyboard when 1/100+ keys stopped working.
Try it on another PC and see.
Using Windows 8, I have discovered that the shift key doesn't work. I have to use cap's lock. Every time I click the cap's lock, an ' appears. I have to delete that before typing my capital word. Without shift, I can't make many important punctuation marks like the exclamation point and the
question mark. Using an on screen keyboard works, but it's so hard to move your mouse to click each letter. Also, the control key doesn't work. Earlier, whenever I typed the space, a space and a zero appeared. And now space works, but zero doesn't. Whenever I type zero, it become an 0. Not to mention that when I type one, 31 comes up, and when I type three, 31 comes up, too. Also, when I search something online, or save a PowerPoint, or anything else, it will bring something else up. For example, I want to search Mario online, before I can type ma, https://mail.go... comes up and I have to delete everything but the m and the a and start typing again. This started today, though I didn't download anything in the past week besides using http://www.youtube..., which is used by many others. I tried describing every problem to the best I could, and painfully typed with all the problems, so I hope someone answers. Please feel free to ask me
questions. Please elaborate with both
questions and answers. I will re-post this tomorrow if nobody answers or solves the problem. And then continue posting this every hour.
As the description states, I think that the keyboard driver was corrupted by one or more viruses back when I got infected with AV Security 2012 and ZeroAccess, among others.
However, my computer has since been declared clean after a great save by SweetTech.
I may be wrong about the virus being the cause of the problem, but I do know it's a software problem, as the keyboard will work while the computer is booting up, (long enough that I can still put it in safe mode) but as soon as Windows boots the physical keyboard becomes totally unresponsive, even in safe mode.
The On-screen keyboard still works.
I don't know whether a USB keyboard would work or not, as I don't have one.
I hve already tried different keyboards, uninstalling and reinstallng the keyboard driver normally, in safemode, and also reinstalling after rebooting the computer, but it didn't work.
The device status for the keyboard is:
This device cannot start (code 10)

Hey Guys!! This is my first post, so we'll see how it goes.
So, here's the problem: I used the registry backup program on my computer to reverse some changes I had made to my system. Now, the keyboard doesn't work. It works when Windows boots (when Windows says "Press F8 for advanced startup options) but it doesn't work after that. Because of this, I can't login to Windows. Does anybody know what the problem is? By the way, my computer is a Compaq Armada E500 running Windows 2000 Professional.

After a power outage my brothers keyboard quit working. He has a desk top computer only one year old. He uses XP. We have rebooted several times. When booting up before Windows opens DOS says it can not find the keyboard.
We made sure the keyboard is plugged in properly (It is not USB connected). We tried another working keyboard, which also didn't work. In Windows we tried adding new hardware. The keyboard is not showing up in the hardware list.
Everything worked fine until the power outage. The computer was in the sleep mode at the time. The mouse continues to work fine and everything else works like it should.

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I was working on my desktop, and Windows Update decided to pop up and install some automatic updates. I put it off by a few hours, so I could finish up my work and go to sleep. When I next tried to use the computer, I realized that somehow Windows Vista could not start. Once it got past the initial screen where I could access BIOS and everything, the computer would just automatically restart.
So I pulled out my installation disk, popped it into the drive, and did a repair on my computer. It supposedly worked, and I tried to access Vista again.
Now here's the problem that I'm currently having:
The keyboard works fine while the computer is booting up. In other words, I can access BIOS and all that. However, once the computer reaches the Vista logon screen, the keyboard and mouse don't receive any power from the computer at all. I can't turn on NumLock or anything like that. Therefore, I can't access my computer at all to try and repair it.
I tried a System Restore to right before it updated (or at least that's what I think the date stamp pointed to), but the problem persists.
I use a USB Keyboard and Mouse, and my computer does not have PS/2 keyboard or mouse ports. I'm running Windows Vista 64 bit, and my computer (and hardware inside) is maybe a year old at most, so I doubt any hardware has failed.
So basically I'm asking: Is there any way to fix my computer? Or will I have to get a Linux Live CD, back up... Read more

Hi there,
I have an acer aspire V11 touch laptop and about 2 weeks ago the keyboard stopped working properly. Whenever I try typing anything there is no output apart from when I try stroking multiple keys really quickly. However this results in a keyboard spasm and will continuously type out the same letter over and over again. The only way I can stop that is by holding down the esc key or the spacebar, and as soon as I let that go it continues!
I have tried pretty much everything in the control panel and settings, including trying to uninstall and reinstall it, as well as checking it wasn't anything to do with filter or sticky keys
Any help would be much appreciated, as using the touch screen keyboard takes so long to type everything!

I am trying to write a program that compares the files of 2 directories. I am having all sorts of troubles even planning, so I'm just going to directly ask my questions:
- How would I iterate through the directories?
- What if there are sub-directories within each directory?
- How would I do the comparison?
I'd want the program to start from the 1st file in dir A, look for the same file in dir B, if the file is there then compare and output the result, if the file isn't in dir B then again print out something. This should occur for every file and folder within A.
To elaborate on the 3rd question, I've got to use some sort of encryption tool to do the comparison, so I pick MD5. But I don't know how to use it in C++. Like, how would I apply a MD5 checksum to the content of a binary file?
Btw, the files in the folders are mixed (i.e. txt, exe, dat, doc, html, etc)
Any help is greatly appreciated.

RollerDrive EC310
Drive for unit handling conveyor systems, such as transporting cardboards, containers, barrels, workpiece carriers or tires. Suitable for sectional conveyors, roller curves, small belt conveyors and especially zero-pressure accumulation roller conveyors.
The motor integrated in the tube allows a very compact design of the conveyor system.
The brushless motor features an energy recovery in braking.
The drive can be used in straight sections and curves and ensures a constant conveying speed. Depending on the application area, PolyVee, round or toothed belts can be used for the transmission of force. Overall, nine gear stages are available. The electronic holding brake (Zero Motion Hold) holds materials in position, even on gravity conveyors, so that the RollerDrive can also be used as a drive in these applications.
The use of decoupling elements achieves particularly low-noise running.
The brushless motor with internal commutation electronics does not require any maintenance. It features an overload protection that prevents damages due to overtemperature or blockage. It is connected securely without complex screw connection by using a motor cable with 5-pin snap-in plug.

Decision : CONF 204 VIII.13
Ichkeul National Park (Tunisia)
VIII.13 Ichkeul National Park (Tunisia)
The Committee was informed that following two winters of adequate rainfall that allowed recovery of the freshwater vegetation, reversal in rainfall patterns has led to a renewed increase in the salinity of Lake waters, resembling levels that prevailed in the area in 1997 and as such, the benefits of the restoration of the Lake achieved during the last two years are in danger of being lost. Such unpredictable, climate-induced reversals are likely to happen in the future. Nevertheless, the Committee stressed the need to fully implement the recommendations of a mission to the site undertaken in March 2000 by a team comprising representatives from IUCN, the Ramsar Convention Secretariat and other international and regional organisations described in document WHC-2000/CONF.204/9. A representative of the State Party who participated at the Centre/IUCN Workshop in Amman, Jordan from 6 to 7 October 2000, also emphasised the importance of implementing the recommendations of the March 2000 mission team.
The Committee recommended that the State Party take all necessary steps to implement, as expeditiously as possible, the recommendations of the mission team that visited the site in March 2000. The Committee highlighted, in particular, the importance of the development of a clear timetable of activities leading to measurable improvements of the Lake and surrounding marshes within the next five years. The Committee requested the Centre to contact the State Party once again to obtain a formal written response to the recommendations proposed by the mission team that visited the site in March 2000. The Committee retained this site in the List of World Heritage in Danger.

Trelleborg successfully hosted a 'Soil Protection & Sustainable Development' forum and a Trelleborg Field Day in Hongxing Farm, Heilongjiang, China on the 21st of May. The events saw over 400 visitors including professional farmers, tractor dealers, trade media and associations, as well as professors and researchers from China Agricultural University, Northeast Agricultural University and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences Heilongjiang.
Andrea Manenti, Country Manager for China at Trelleborg Wheel Systems Agricultural and Forestry Tires, commented: "It's vital for us to support sustainable farms, protect soil and to reduce fuel consumption. Trelleborg offers high performance radial tire solutions in order to meet the stringent demands of the modern farm."It's an honour for us to showcase to the wider industry how innovative tires can protect the soil, reduce fuel consumption and increase yield crops. We hold a long-standing commitment to the development of the Chinese market and continue to support our customers with our local team and production facility in Xingtai."
Its speed and fuel consumption test, comprised two John Deere 7830 tractors each with 3.5-meter width chisel, as well as the same transmission shift and RPM. However, one tractor was fitted with Trelleborg radial tires TM600 420/90R30 and 480/80R46, while the other with X-ply tires 16.9-30 and 18.4-46. Over a track of 200 metres which contained soft and dry soil prepared for planting, the tractor with Trelleborg radial tires saved eight seconds and 0.12 litres of fuel, equating to a 10.5% fuel saving.
Therefore, if a tractor was to work for 2,000 Hectares per year, this would result in a saving of 63.5 hours and 16,354 RMB saving on fuel. This means that a farm with 100 tractors could save a remarkable 6,350 hours and 1,635,400 RMB per annum.
Trelleborg also carried out a footprint demonstration, using the same tractors. A load of 3,200kg was placed on a single tire on the tractor's rear axle. Trelleborg's TM600 480/80R46 tire pressure was 1.4 Bar and its footprint was 5,356 cm2, while the X-ply tire 18.4-46 pressure was 2.1 Bar and its footprint was 3,071 cm2. The result was that the footprint of the Radial tire increased by as much as 74%, resulting in less soil compaction, higher yield, more traction and increased efficiency. Professor Liu Liyi from Northeast Agricultural University collected soil compaction data which revealed that soil compaction is considerably higher with X-ply tires.
As for the pulling demonstration, a John Deere 9520 tractor was pulled by two John Deere 7830 tractors connected with a steel rope on a pulley with the same transmission shift and RPM. One tractor was fitted with TM600 420/90R30 (tire pressure is 1.2 Bar) and 480/80R46 (tire pressure is 1.4 Bar). The other was fitted withTM800 540/65R30 (tire pressure 0.8 Bar) and 650/65R42 (tire pressure 0.8 Bar). The second tractor completed a 200 metres track up to seven meters ahead of the other. This was because wider tires have a larger contact area which more efficiently transfers the power of the tractor to the ground, providing superior traction.
Following the field demonstrations, Trelleborg then held its 'Soil Protection & Sustainable Development Forum'. This saw Andrea Manenti discuss sustainable development in Europe and the need for the agricultural industry to produce more, with less.
Dr. Qiuju Wang from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Heilongjiang, also took to the stage to discuss soil conditions and protection. This highlighted the importance of educating farming professionals to better understand the condition of their soil and the need to protect it.
Mr. Shuqi Shang, Dean of Qingdao Agricultural University, Chairman of International Association on Mechanization of Field Experiments (IAMFE), also discussed the impact of agricultural machinery on soil and improvement. This revealed that soil compaction can cause a 3.8% - 13.4% reduction of soya bean, a 9.5% - 16.2% reduction of corn / maize and 4.0% - 20.0% reduction of wheat.

Conservative Party leaders in Britain abandon a controversial plan to sell off virtually all of the country's publicly owned forests over the next decade. The proposal, which would have sold off even historic woodlands like the Forest of Dean and Sherwood Forest, generated widespread public outrage that had shown no signs of abating. "I am sorry, we got this one wrong, but we have listened to people's concerns," Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman told the House of Commons. [The Guardian]
The Cambodian government grants approval for a titanium mine in the Cardamom Mountains, home to one of the region's last major stands of intact rainforest. The area is home to a number of threatened and endangered species, and conservation groups say the mine will interrupt a migration route for the country's largest remaining population of Asian elephants.

What has happened to my Mariners?
May 24, 2004, 03:40:59 pm »
:( It is a sad and woeful tale about my Mariners. They are now 14 games under 500 and are not swinging their bats very well. We seem to be very short of run support for pitchers who rank near the top of major league baseball. They pitch their little hearts out, but to no avail.
I know that things will turn around. :idea: Another team meeting.............fan encouragement.......................the baseball gods again smiling on the great pacific northwest. It will happen! 8)
I am not just a fair weather fan. I will be there through thick and thin. Edgar Martinez needs a championship! So does John Olerud. We have great players, and they need to find their way back to the top of the west.
Hopefully the baseball gods will give up their spring bowling league and get back to work.

They own 25% of all the championships and they own around 70% of the total baseball salary schedule.
You get what you pay for.
They should have a cap.
P.S. Don't let my location fool you, I hate the Mariners. I'm a born and raised Cardinal fan.

Boston Red Sox $ 127,298,500
Anaheim Angels $ 100,534,667
New York Mets $ 96,660,970
Philadelphia Phillies $ 93,219,167
Los Angeles Dodgers $ 92,902,001
Chicago Cubs $ 90,560,000
Atlanta Braves $ 90,182,500
St. Louis Cardinals $ 83,228,333
San Francisco Giants $ 82,019,166
Seattle Mariners $ 81,515,834
Houston Astros $ 75,397,000
Arizona Diamondbacks $ 69,780,750
Colorado Rockies $ 65,445,167
Chicago White Sox $ 65,212,500
Oakland Athletics $ 59,425,667
San Diego Padres $ 55,384,833
Texas Rangers $ 55,050,417
Minnesota Twins $ 53,585,000
Baltimore Orioles $ 51,623,333
Toronto Blue Jays $ 50,017,000
Kansas City Royals $ 47,609,000
Detroit Tigers $ 46,832,000
Cincinnati Reds $ 46,615,250
Florida Marlins $ 42,143,042
Montreal Expos $ 41,197,500
Cleveland Indians $ 34,319,300
Pittsburgh Pirates $ 32,227,929
Tampa Bay Devil Rays $ 29,556,667
Milwaukee Brewers $ 27,528,500
So I guess you're right, it's not 70%, but... The Yankees salary is over twice what the #5 position Phillies are paying.
Rodriguez, Alex
Year Team Salary Position
2004 New York Yankees
$ 22,000,000
2003 Texas Rangers $ 22,000,000 Shortstop
2002 Texas Rangers $ 22,000,000 Shortstop
2001 Texas Rangers $ 22,000,000 Shortstop
A-Rod makes almost as much as the whole Brewers roster!
Year / Top 25 players
Rank Player Salary Team
1 Ramirez, Manny $ 22,500,000 Boston Red Sox
Rodriguez, Alex $ 22,000,000 New York Yankees
3 Delgado, Carlos $ 19,700,000 Toronto Blue Jays
Jeter, Derek $ 18,600,000 New York Yankees
A-Rod & Jeter make more than the bottom 4 teams!
If this were Nascar...well it isn't Nascar. But we need a cap! It's not even the same game when you have teams of this disparate stature trying to compete with the Yankees and Redsox who obviously don't mind buying championships.
These facts were obtained from the USA Today website.

I just spent a half hour setting up a excel spreadsheet to say what you said. lol
BTW I love a good debate
I respect you for doing your homework. Great Job!
It's 8.89%
But you left out a bunch of teams Look at atlanta, marlins Less than half the salaries and still field championship teams. Then again Whats the last time a redsox fan was happy in October? But look at their salaries.
My brother is look to buy a house on Long Island Median price $450,000
NYC is much more expensive. All NY teams have high payrolls, look at the cap probs the JETS (My Team) are having. Almost 35 years since they got chapionship rings. Same is true for the Rangers, The Knicks, The Mets.
My position is that it's great to have the money to spend but you CANNOT buy a championship. If the Yankees have a salary twice that of the red sox why don' the red sox have 13% of the titles? Same logic holds for the rest of the teams. And if the Yankees are spending 10% why do they have over two and a half times that much percentage of the World Series Rings?

They are all overpaid prima donnas
Th salary cap should be on how much a player can be compensated instead of how much a team can spend. A million a year. Not for nothing but they are playing a GAME!
Then maybe the average family could afford to go to more then three games a year.
I live in Richmond VA (Born and raised in NY) and love going to the Richmond Braves. $3 - $9 a seat
In the middle of june I am going to go watch them play the Toledo Mud Hens! Maybe Klinger will be tere! LOL
Baseball at a price everyone can afford, go out and have a good time.
I encourage all of you to go see minor league ball.

Why does someone need a half million dollar house except for status. Wouldn't a 125,000 house be just as comfortable. As George Carlin said " A house is just a place to store stuff, get a bigger house you just get more stuff to store there"
God doesn't owe you anything, but you owe everything to God!

:lol: Rog, I think we certainly see eye to eye on it. They are definitely overpaid! And you're right, it's almost where you can't afford to go to see a game anymore. Anyway, thanks for the ~ debate. I love talking baseball philosophy.

This is why I follow so few TEAM SPORTS, it just seems NO ONE is ever accountable for performance, at least their salaries never reflect their true worth - other than ticket sales draw.
I always enjoyed one on one sport, golf, bowling, tennis, auto racing (ok, that is a team sort but the driver his life on the line, marathons, mountain biking, olympic events ocassionally (now we have syncronized skating - ugh) but in generally sports where you make money when you are the best at what you do and you go home with less or nothing if you stink.
My Dad told man when I was a kid that "The guy who finishes LAST in any olympic event could have stayed home and drank beer and ate chips and still finished last"
Golf is probably the most interesting statistically speaking - the top ten golfers typically finish in the top ten in nearly every event and gold is big money - Bowlers have serious envy, even the best bowlers earn in a year with a top ten golfer can earn in 4 days at nearly any tour event.
Until your receive a base salery in a team sport and then offer massive bonuses offered on preformance, you will never have exellence across the sports world.
I have the Lakewood Blue Claws, a minor league for Philadelphia (I think) and these guys have a beautiful ball park, affordable seating for the fans and night after night these guys are busting their butts to out-do each other to get their way into the majors. Somewere between their $40K a year in minors and $26 million for the majors something happens to them. Give them a $200K base salary with the potential of making 10 million a year and you'll have player who will be playing like they are sharks with chum in the water. Locl them in to a 10 year contract with no preformance debits and you are asking for crappy and lifeless players.
Just thinking aloud from a serious laymans viewpoint. But I understand one on one sports, it's like the old joke: two guys are being chased by a lion - guy one says we "have to out run this lion", guy two says "No... I just have to out run you!"

Oh, I couldn't NOT respond to this one. First the Mariners. They are getting too old. Edgar and Olerud have to go. Build around the young pitching staff. Find some more offense to go with Boone and Ichiro. I hear Bret has an out of work brother that plays 3rd base. Go get him Mariners.
Yankees have been able to buy championship players for a long time. Can you say Babe Ruth? They are the worst thing about pro sports anywhere. All the stats about payroll are from recent years. I wonder what it was like in the 30's, 40's and 50's. Anybody know?
Cubs are the team of the future. Everybody loves them-I do. Born and raised a Cub fan. Now that the Wrigley family no longer owns the team, they are serious about winning. As we Cub fans buy more hats and other stuff- they will have more $$ to spend to stay competitive.
They will probably move into the top 3 payroll teams in the next 5 years as they start piling up world series rings. I just hope I never see any of my favorite Cubbies ever become Yankees.
One more thing, lots of athletes are prima donas, but they are paid what the market dictates. We watch them and spend our money. If the players didn't get it, the owners would. I have no problem with players getting all that money. I, for one, would love to be in their position.

What's in a word, especially a dirty one in a film changed for TV broadcast? For "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" director Edgar Wright, a lot of fun.
On the Blu-Ray and DVD release of his most recent film, Wright reveals the plethora of amusing alternatives for telecast-un-utterables he had the "Scott Pilgrim" cast deliver, particularly the word "owl" frequently subbing for the common idiom for the characters' backsides.
"The 'Owl' Version – If that cut ever ends up on network TV, I will be so happy," says Wright.
U.S. & World
Unlike some filmmakers, he admits he takes special delight coming up with inventive curse-word substitutes in the dubbing room."I think you contractually have to do a TV-safe edit," he explains. "The thing is, if you don't provide them, they'll do the silliest ones themselves. When we're doing ADR, I actually like doing them. Some people watch them and say 'Oh, that's retarded. Why do they have to change a--?' I think it's funny! What we do is we try and think of the weirdest ones to put in, and then we only ever do one take of it. We never do any second takes. So they start to get really weird in this one. Every utteration of the word 'a--' is replaced by the word 'owl.'"
Wright says he's seen intentionally hilarious overdubs of film "plenty of times – like you notice if you watch something like 'Die Hard 2,' Bruce Willis did not show up for his TV-safe edits." The director recently saw one of his own films, "Hot Fuzz" for the first time on television and was both horrified and amused by the censors' liberties.
"I just thought, "Wow, if you'd only ever seen that film on Comedy Central, you honestly have another 20 minutes to look forward to on the DVD." I was amazed how butchered it was. At least if you're going to provide those things, you may as well have fun with it. I really like doing them."

Budget pains could hit Marines
Much deeper cutbacks on top of already curtailed spending are in store for the sea services if Congress can't resolve looming budget crises, the top officers of the Navy and Marine Corps said Thursday.
Resulting trims in operations spending would force them to ground aircraft, temporarily close maintenance depots, and delay or cancel ship deployments – moves that would deeply affect San Diego and likely bankrupt some smaller defense businesses, according to the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James Amos, and the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Jonathan Greenert.
The cuts have a disproportionate effect on the Marine Corps, the smallest of the Pentagon services, because of its small budget, Amos said Thursday afternoon, at a conference sponsored by the U.S. Naval Institute and AFCEA, a trade group.
In addition to a spending cap at 2012 levels until Congress passes a new appropriations bill, the military is facing more than a trillion dollars in spending cuts over the next decade — if the automatic rollback in defense spending known as "sequestration" is triggered in March, on top of cuts the Pentagon previously instituted.
Amos put those numbers in perspective by noting that the entire Marine Corps budget for 2012 including money for the war in Afghanistan is about $30 billion. The cost of refurbishing or replacing all its equipment now in the war zone is about $3.2 billion.
"That's the bill for the future readiness of the Marine Corps, and I am very concerned about that. That's what keeps me up at night," Amos said. "There is, in my sense, a lack of appreciation for the sheer magnitude of the cost."
As it stands, the Corps has been supporting forces bound for combat by borrowing from operations and maintenance accounts. "They are going to get 100 percent of everything they need – people, equipment, training. We will mortgage everything for the forces that are in Afghanistan," Amos said. "But that mortgage is being paid by home station readiness, home station equipment, equipment that is not going into depots, equipment that we are not buying to go into reset."
The Marine Corps is considering shuttering maintenance depots for the third and fourth quarters if sequestration takes effect. That would force the Corps to ground some tactical aircraft next year, including F/A-18 fighter jets and EA-6B Prowlers whose service life has been stretched while the Corps waits for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jet under development.
"Sequestration is going to have a significant impact on all of us. We are going to have to go back in and figure out, OK, how are we going to be able to pay the bills? The operations and maintenance, which is sailing dates, it's fuel, it's flight hours, it's wear and tear on equipment, it's reset for equipment," Amos said. "If sequestration happens, San Diego is going to feel it. So is Norfolk, Va., so is Camp Pendleton and Camp LeJeune."
The Corps is also getting squeezed by maintenance cutbacks for Navy amphibious assault ships that deploy infantry and aircraft assigned to Marine Expeditionary Units.
The Navy may have to find a way to reconcile about 20 percent of its operating budget, or $8.5 billion, if sequestration is added to spending caps because of the delayed 2013 budget.
The Navy announced planned spending cuts last week that would eliminate $219 million in shipyard work in San Diego in the middle of the year, the cancellation of $83 million in aircraft maintenance here and deferment of three local military construction projects.
Maintenance on the destroyers Benfold, Higgins, Gridley, Sampson and Russell, the amphibious warships Peleliu, Green Bay and Rushmore, and the mine-countermine ships Devastator and Pioneer is being delayed.
Absent a new spending bill, Greenert said the Navy wants authority to shift appropriations to protect maintenance of critical ships. His priority would be amphibious ships, aircraft carriers and then cruisers and destroyers. "The amphibious ships really need the maintenance and they are very, very busy," Greenert said.
The long-term effect on small companies involved in ship maintenance could be irreversible, he added. "You can't just discard the impact on the shore infrastructure in those operations, coming home to roost" with a cumulative effect in coming years.
The ongoing rebalance of military forces to the Asia-Pacific region will continue, however, the naval leaders said during the town hall discussion Thursday afternoon at the West 2013 event: "Pivot to the Pacific: What are the Practical and Global Implications?"
The Navy has committed to adding a second Amphibious Ready Group of ships to carry extra Marine forces deploying to the region, including additional infantrymen and a squadron of MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft assigned to Okinawa, Japan.
Amos said the Navy has not decided where to base the ships between regular deployments throughout the region, but San Diego and Hawaii are options.
The flagship could be the amphibious assault ship America – LHA-6, which was christened recently but probably won't be ready to deploy until 2015 or 2016, Amos said. Another option might be East Coast ships transferred sooner, paired with Joint High Speed Vessels.
The Corps revived its battalion deployment rotation through Okinawa, Japan last year. The first battalion sent there spun off a company of Marines to Darwin, Australia, where as many as 2,500 Marines at a time are scheduled to deploy in coming years.
The U.S. alliance with Australia is its strongest ever after fighting shoulder-to-shoulder in Iraq and Afghanistan, Amos said.
Australia bought two large deck amphibious assault ships that are being built in Spain. The Pacific nation is learning about seabased deployment of ground forces from a U.S. Marine colonel assigned to its staff. But Australia is facing its own defense cutbacks, including more than 10 percent from its budget last year on top of five percent the previous year, bringing defense spending to its lowest percentage of GDP since 1938 according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
Two more Marine battalions will begin rotating through Okinawa by this fall, including one from the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force headquartered in San Diego. The three rotational battalions join another infantry battalion permanently stationed there.
A plan to build up Guam to support the deployment of some 5,000 Marines, delayed repeatedly over environmental protests and economic negotiations, is still several years out. In the interim, the Corps has started deploying forces on nearby Tinian Island, where the Inola Gay took off for Japan in 1945 with its atomic bomb. Marines are training there in austere conditions until a more substantial range is built.
They also operate in the Philippines and there is talk of deploying them to Vietnam.
Lt. Gen. John Toolan, Jr., commanding general of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, described the effect of sequestration on the reinvigorated commitment to Asia-Pacific: "It's going to hurt," he said in a talk to the San Diego Military Advisory Council.
"This upcoming year, the damage will be minimal. But eventually it's going to hit into our ability to deploy. Transportation just crushes us. Whether it's theater security engagement and sending a team out to Indonesia… or flying the battalion altogether, kit and caboodle, over to Okinawa. So it may cause us to stay at home more."
The rebalance of forces to the Pacific is costly but necessary, Amos said. Until more Navy ships are available, the Corps may rely on commercial ships or other means of transporting extra Marines around the region.
"Talking about rebalancing to the Pacific, the pivot or whatever you want to call it, the fact is there are not enough ships right now to move the Marines around. We are going to get there. But what do we do in the meantime?" Amos asked. "When you start running out of money, you start looking for other ways you can accomplish the mission."
The service has no choice if it is to remain vital as a crisis response force.
"When things are bad people look around and go, 'OK who can get there overnight?' And they typically say 'Where are the Marines? Send in the Marines!' So we have to be ready … to be that insurance policy, that hedge force for uncertainty," Amos said.

Nonprofit links school teams to kids facing tough illnesses
When Williams Colleges's men's soccer team was down 1-0 last November against St. Lawrence, their linchpin was Zac Daniels.
He made the difference, though he's only 11 years old. Zac had recently been "drafted" as part of a program called Team Impact, a nonprofit that matches kids who have, or have recently battled, a life-threatening illness, with a college sports team.
Coach Mike Russo was trying to rally his players at halftime.
"Zac raised his hand and said 'My team's motto is defense first, then attack,' " says team captain Matt Ratajczak. "It was a turning point for me. That's where the impact in Team Impact comes in."
"It was incredibly confident for him to step forward at a tense moment like that," says Russo."It gave us a tremendous amount of inspiration."
Williams went on to win 2-1 and advance to the semi-finals NCAA Tournament in San Antonio, TX.
Of such moments, Zac himself said: "It's like suddenly it hits you. You are on the team. You should feel as nervous as the team feels, as nervous, happy or frustrated as they're feeling."
Quincy based Team Impact was started in 2011 by a group of former Tufts athletes, most of whom had worked with Friends of Jaclyn, a nonprofit that connects children who have brain tumors with school teams. The Tufts alums, including Williams' softball coach Kris Herman, wanted to extend the team experience to more kids.
The program is active in more than 100 colleges in the Northeast and Midwest. Williams has a roster of four, ranging in age from 6 to 17.
The youngsters participate in practices as their health permits, sit with the team at games and generally "hang out" with the other players and talk sports.
"The big advantage is I see what drills they do and that sort of thing," said Zac Daniels.
Herman says matching involves referrals from pediatricians, special camps and other sources, but "there's no cookie cutter recruiting process."
Zac's mother, Melanie Daniels, got him involved when she heard about the program through a friend.
Team Impact considers quality of life, logistics, sports interest and gender when matching kids and teams. But Herman is clear: "This is more about teams than sports."
"It's powerful to be part of a team, to know that other people have your back," says Dr. Sarah Brand of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and a member of Team Impact's medical advisory board. "Sometimes these kids have a foreshortened sense of the future.
This opens their eyes to the possibility of the things they can do."
"Now they might be thinking about the next pizza party with the team, instead of the next MRI," Herman points out.
Team Impact also takes the family into account. Siblings are included in many events, and the relationship extends beyond the playing field with dinners, movie nights, or phone calls during hospital stays.
Williams sophomore Andrew Bravo has even been helping Zac Daniels with his schoolwork. "I try to show him the connection between angles in soccer strategy and math," says Bravo. "I give him some tips and by the end of the session he gets it."
Melanie Daniels says Zac couldn't have been drafted by the Ephs at a better time. Born with a diaphragmatic hernia, he was guided through much of his medical treatment by his grandmother, who was a nurse. She died unexpectedly last fall.
"My mother walked every step of the way with Zac," Melanie says."Just when we lost our biggest support system, we got our next support system. Having a child who's medically involved can be a lonely road to walk. Now we have 25 guys who will walk it with us. That's powerful."
Daniels says squeezing in team events amidst doctor appointments and general family life isn't quite as difficult as it might seem.
"They impart a strength to him that makes things easier."
She wants prospective Team Impact parents to know the "energy return" more than compensates for the additional scheduling.
The energy return, it seems, works for the college players as well.
"We might complain about doing an extra run or something. Then we think he's been through hell and back, and we know we can suck it up for a few minutes," says Ratajczak, referring to Zac's medical treatment. "
Hockey player, junior Paul Steinig, expresses similar sentiments about another young Williams draft, 6-year-old Zach Hillard of North Adams, who has cerebral palsy.
"He has awesome energy. Zach and his family go above and beyond what it means to be a teammate. There are no limits for a kid like him if he's willing to work around things."
Indeed, when being interviewed for this article, young Zach couldn't say enough about Williams as he displayed his collection of hockey pucks and stuffed animals named after the players.
Zach's big thing is to "check" other guys (which he does with a physical boost from his teammates).
"I had to do penalty push-ups for checking the coach off the ice. I actually liked it, but that will never happen again," Zach recalls then drops to his hands and knees and fires out a dozen push-ups.
"He just wants to talk hockey, to play hockey," says his father, Jeff Hillard.
"I love it!" laughs Zach. "I get to skate a lot at practice, but not at games The ref's afraid I'll get like 14 penalties."
"He's been accepted by the team since day one," asserts Hillard. And it is striking how, despite age or physical differences, the Team Impact kids are truly considered part of the college teams.
"You can't fake that," says Brand."These players aren't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. It's 200 percent authentic."
It's a point illustrated again by Williams' baseball team. Their 17-year-old draft from Adams, Billy O'Brien, "loves baseball maybe even more than the college players," according to coach Bill Barrale.
"Billy eats, sleeps and dreams baseball," says captain Taylor Mondshein. Asked if having a draft with that level of enthusiasm is like having a fan around, Mondshein says definitively, "I don't think of Billy as a fan, I think of him as a teammate."
"He's been like this with baseball since we can remember," said his mother, Leann O'Brien, during a recent practice at Williams' Towne Field House. But O'Brien says because of the cerebral palsy, Billy hasn't been able to participate on a team since he was in elementary school.
"Now five or six guys will take him to the dining hall and they'll just talk baseball.
"As soon as he was drafted it was as if he got 30 new best friends," she says. "It was during the Christmas break. These guys are away. They're in California or wherever. And Christmas Day they're texting my kid."
Williams' first Team Impact girl and most recent draft, Meghan Schrade, is also keyed up about the team experience. The 6-year-old from North Adams was born with congenital heart problems and recently received a third pacemaker.
"On draft night she had 17 young ladies trying to get her attention, and was just eating it up," says her mother Tracy Bassette."She said, 'Mom, I'm going to be part of a team!' "
And Williams wants even more kids.
"The challenge is to find the kids," says Coach Herman. "The teams are ready to go."
Team Impact student ambassador and soccer player, sophomore Sarah Brink says her team keeps asking her " 'When are we going to get a kid?' Maybe it's not the first thing parents of girls will think about, especially if they're dealing with illness. And maybe at 6, girls aren't necessarily into sports, but at 6 you don't always know what you like. This is about camaraderie."
Fellow ambassador, senior softball player, Kaitlin Dinet adds, "There's so much more than the game. But girls need to know they can play just as well as the boys."
Herman hopes in the future Team Impact will expand beyond sports to other group endeavors like theater.
"Harnessing the power of a team makes this unique," says Brand. "Kids want to be part of a group. It's human to want to be part of a group, and illness can be isolating."
